Nottingham Trent University (NTU) is a public teaching and research university in Nottingham, United Kingdom. It was founded as a new university in 1992 from the existing Trent Polytechnic (later Nottingham Polytechnic), however it can trace its roots back to 1843 with the establishment of the Nottingham Government School of Design which still exists within the university today. Nottingham Trent University is one of the largest universities in the United Kingdom with around 24,000 students^[3] split over three different campuses.

History

Nottingham Trent University is essentially the result of the amalgamation of many separate institutions of higher education. It originated from the Nottingham Government School of Design founded in 1843. In 1945 the Nottingham and District Technical College was established. In 1958 Nottingham Regional College of Technology opened and in 1959 the Nottingham College of Education began at Clifton. In 1964 Nottingham Regional College was opened and in 1966 the original Nottingham College of Design was linked with the Regional College. Together they merged and the institution was upgraded to Polytechnic status in 1970 to become 'Trent Polytechnic'. In 1975 it amalgamated with Nottingham College of Education and in 1988 the official name changed to 'Nottingham Polytechnic'. Under the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 all Polytechnics and some higher education colleges became eligible for full university status; at this point, the institution officially became 'Nottingham Trent University'.

Structure

With the arrival of Vice-Chancellor Neil T Gorman in 2003, the university underwent a major change in organisation. It is now composed of three colleges and nine schools:

• College of Business, Law and Social Sciences
  • Nottingham Business School
  • Nottingham Law School
  • School of Social Sciences
• College of Art & Design and Built Environment
  • School of Art & Design
  • School of Architecture, Design and the Built Environment
• College of Arts and Science
  • School of Animal, Rural and Environmental Sciences
  • School of Arts and Humanities
  • School of Education
  • School of Science and Technology

Business and industry links

NTU has established industrial links with a number of national and multinational companies including Microsoft,Toyota, Boots, Experian and Rolls Royce

Representatives from companies hold talks with prospective placement students or those considering careers after graduation.

Across NTU, there are a number of dedicated centres that provide a focus for expertise ^[4] and business resources, all of which can support organisational and development needs. Aligned to a profession, industry sector, business function or specific subject area, these centres offer a range of activities from tailored educational services and cutting-edge research, to consultancy and the cultivation of new business ideas.

Located in the Maudsley building on the City campus, The Hive is NTU's purpose built centre for enterprise and business development. Here experts can help evaluate and advise on potential business ideas as well as provide a bespoke education in entrepreneurship. Since 2001 the centre has helped 250 start up companies of which 70% have been successful. The centre helps by not only providing advice and guidance but also by providing office space and other facilities to its clients.^[5]

Campuses

Nottingham Trent University has three campuses:

City site

Located just north of Nottingham City Centre, the city site is home to over 16,000 students from Nottingham Business School, Nottingham Law School, School of Architecture, Design and the Built Environment, School of Art & Design, School of Social Sciences and the Centre for Broadcasting & Journalism. The City site has recently completed an ambitious £70 million development, which regenerated Newton and Arkwright, two of the University's largest and oldest owned buildings. On Wednesday 18 May 2011, the two buildings were officially opened by Sir David Attenborough.

Clifton campus

Home to over 7,000 students from the School of Arts and Humanities, School of Science and Technology and School of Education. Four miles outside the city centre, the Clifton campus is a self-contained, greenfield site. It hosts an Anthony Nolan Trust Cord Blood Bank, and the newly operational John van Geest Cancer Research Centre, recipient of the largest research grant awarded to a post-1992 university. The Clifton campus has benefited from recent investment including the new Lee Westwood Sports Centre and new accommodation. Students at Clifton can use their own Students’ Union bar, gym, shop, cafés and library. Clifton campus is linked to the City site by a regular student bus service.

Brackenhurst campus

Home to over 1,000 students from the School of Animal, Rural and Environmental Sciences. Approximately 14 miles from the city centre, Brackenhurst campus is a countryside estate with woodland, a lake and landscaped gardens. Contrasting the country house built in 1828 are facilities including the high-tech glasshouse and new Veterinary Nursing building. The Veterinary Nursing Centre was purpose built in 2007 and was made a RCVS accredited Veterinary Nursing Centre. Inside there is a simulation Veterinary Practice offering students hands on experience at the University.

Estate regeneration

2005 saw the start of a regeneration project to update much of the University's estate. Improvements to date include:

City site

• The Art & Design Bonington Building on the City site was completely refurbished in 2006, with a new front section, a two-storey atrium, an increased number of exhibition spaces, and a cafe. It is the home to Bonington Gallery which exhibits a wide range of work. Nottingham-born fashion designer, Sir Paul Smith officially re-opened the building.
• The Chaucer Building on the City Site, home of Nottingham Law School, Centre for Broadcast Journalism and the School of Social Sciences has been fully refurbished, with new paintwork, signage, reception, lecture theatres, and lifts. A new entrance, fascia and foyer dedicated to the Centre for Broadcast Journalism was completed in February 2009 and officially opened by Sir Michael Parkinson.
• The complete refurbishment of the Newton and Arkwright buildings and the construction of a glazed link building between the two was completed in 2011 and officially opened by Sir Michael Parkinson. The complex includes ten new lecture theatres, high-tech teaching rooms, offices, a student services centre, computer rooms, cafes and a restaurant. It is also home to the new Nottingham Conference Centre,^[6] a purpose-built facility for corporate and academic conferences in the East Midlands.
• The demolition of Byron House located on Shakespeare street. It will be replaced with a new £60 million development composed of a new Student Union complete with cafes, bars, health centre and a night club. The development will also include a significant amount of student accommodation. Work on this new development is scheduled to begin in January 2012,^[7]

Clifton campus

• A new £8 million Computing & Informatics building was opened on the Clifton campus in 2006.
• New Centre for Effective Learning in Science (CELS) building opened in 2006.
• The Trent Astronomical Observatory was opened in 2006 at a cost of £150,000. The dome shaped building houses the 20" Newtonian telescope which is capable of capturing satellites orbiting the Earth, Moon, Sun, planets and other stars in our galaxy as well as in others.^[8]
• The John van Geest Cancer Research Centre was established in 2008, as a new research centre within the School of Science and Technology, as a direct result of core funding from the John and Lucille van Geest Foundation.
• The world number one golfer and honorary graduate Lee Westwood opened the new Lee Westwood Sports Centre on the university’s Clifton campus in October 2010. The new centre has sport and athlete support facilities, including sports halls, studios and fitness suites, and a nutrition training centre.
• An extention to the former Toyota-Lexus training centre will be transformed into a state-of-the-art superlab which will provide the university with enhanced research capability as well as improved teaching facilities. The new development is scheduled to open in April 2012.^[9]
• The university plans to demolish the George Eliot Building and replace it with a brand new student hub and reception area for the clifton campus.^[10]

Brackenhurst campus

• The suite of glasshouses and polytunnels at Brackenhurst campus were opened in 2006.
• New accommodation residences at Brackenhurst campus built in 2006.
• In 2008, His Royal Highness The Earl of Wessex opened the East Midlands’ first state-of-the-art Veterinary Nursing Centre and Animal Unit at Nottingham Trent University’s Brackenhurst campus.

Developments

• The City site benefited from the completion of the Nottingham Express Transit (NET) light rail system in December 2003, which provides a tram stop outside the Boots Library. This allows a direct link to Nottingham city's main railway station.
• The university's in-house managed learning environment has been replaced, after university-wide use of the Virtual Learning Portal (VLP) for five years (4.85 TB of materials served and 6.7 million logins during the 2006/07 academic year).^[11] The in-house MLE has now been replaced by Desire2Learn from the 2008/09 academic year onwards with the Virtual Learning Portal being officially retired at the end of 2008.
• The university has partnerships with many universities and colleges throughout the world. Since 1998 NTU has awarded a number of business and law degrees for Griffith College Dublin, Ireland.^[12] The law degrees since 2004, have been recognised by King's Inns, Dublin as satisfying the requirements of entry to that institution, the first independent institution to do so.^[13]
• In July 2005, the university purchased the Belgrave Centre, thus releasing Nottingham Law School from its ongoing rental commitment along with the added benefit of providing rental income from the Government Office of the East Midlands, which had a tenancy agreement until 2010 for approximately half of the building.^[14]
• The university entered into a partnership with Kaplan Inc. to form the "Nottingham Trent International College" (NTIC) which, through foundation courses and pre-masters courses, helps international students to progress to undergraduate and postgraduate programmes at NTU and other UK universities..^[15]
• In June 2008 Sir Michael Parkinson was named as the first Chancellor, responsible for a number of duties, including representing the university on special occasions and conferring degrees at graduation ceremonies (although he was absent from all the 2009 graduation ceremonies). The official installation as Chancellor of Nottingham Trent University took place in a special ceremony on Tuesday 11 November 2008, at the Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham.^[16]
• Nottingham Trent University co-hosts Gamecity, a five day video game festival which takes gaming out into the streets, shops and cinemas of Nottingham. It takes place in October each year.
• In February 2010 the university launched a historic lace archive of more than 75,000 intricate lace samples, considered to be of national and international importance.

Research

The university’s teaching is underpinned by its research. Its world-leading research ranges from cancer immunotherapy and airport security systems to social policy and cultural studies, and the university is currently holding £22 million in research grants and contracts.(Financial Year 2008/09.) The University held its own in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, although it entered fewer academics than some of the other leading new universities.

The John van Geest Cancer Research Centre was established in 2008, as a new research centre within the School of Science and Technology, as a direct result of core funding from the John and Lucille van Geest Foundation. The School of Science and Technology is host to research facilities including the Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Centre, the Natural Sciences Research Centre, the Imaging and Display Research Facility and the Van Geest Cancer Research Centre; for physiological and sport related research the School boasts an Environmental Chamber capable of replicating extreme environmental conditions.
